 SNMPGETNEXT(1)                                     SNMPGETNEXT(1)
 
 
 
NAME
        snmpgetnext  -  communicates  with  a network entity using
        SNMP GET NEXT Requests.
 
SYNOPSIS
        snmpgetnext [ common arguments ] objectID [objectID]...
 
DESCRIPTION
        Snmpget is an SNMP application  that  uses  the  GET  NEXT
        Request to query for information on a network entity.  One
        or more object identifiers may be given  as  arguments  on
        the command line.  Each variable name is given in the for­
        mat specified in variables(5).  For each one, the variable
        that  is lexicographicly "next" in the remote entity's MIB
        will be returned.
 
        For example
 
        snmpgetnext    zeus    public     interfaces.ifTable.ifEn­
        try.ifType.1
 
        will   retrieve   the   variable  interfaces.ifTable.ifEn­
        try.ifType.2:
 
        interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2 = softwareLoopback(24)
 
        If  the network entity has an error processing the request
        packet, an error message will be shown,  helping  to  pin­
        point in what way the request was malformed.
